The unidentified woman in the picture has dropped her complaint to police.

Nathan Broad has been suspended for three matches by his AFL club Richmond for his role in the topless medal photo scandal.

Tigers president Peggy O'Neal announced the ban on Monday morning, appearing alongside the apologetic defender at a press conference at Punt Road Oval.

The unidentified woman in the picture has dropped her complaint to police, but she released a statement on Monday saying she had been assured by the player - who she knew - that the photo had been deleted from his phone.
